Ginger! Gingeriffic Recipes, Tips, and Tools

Last week we showed you a Ginger Applesauce Cake from a great book on cooking with kids. Many of you felt, though, that there was too little ginger in the cake to justify its title. It's for kids, remember, so the spicy ginger was probably kept lighter for little tongues, but it made us also consider other recipes that have a lot more punch.

We adore ginger - it's good for you in so many ways! Here are over twenty recipes, good tips, and great ideas for eating (and drinking) more ginger.
